Mazda, Video Competition, and DATE

This morning started with my husband already sitting at the Mazda workshop after dropping our daughter at college. It’s time for our CX-5’s routine service. Yes, the one that’s already ten years old. Honestly, it doesn’t feel like a decade at all. I still remember the day I got the keys to that dream car, totally free from tiket.com’s car ownership program. What a moment.

Mind you, I posted about that dream car in 2012, and finally got it for FREE in 2015. Talk about Law of Attraction or Reticular Activating System!

We’re getting it serviced now to prepare for our end-of-year Java road trip. Fingers crossed she behaves well on the highway. She’s always been my favorite car, even though she once spent some time in Bali being rented out. Now she’s back with us and officially assigned to our youngest, who can finally drive and has her license.

By noon, I was still stuck editing a video for the Sinar Mas Land competition. And somehow I finished and uploaded it right on time. The deadline was 6 p.m., I submitted everything at 5, and I only recorded the voiceover once. No retakes. The editing was the real beast. I really hope it pays off.

Tonight we went to Bakmi Gocit at The Loop BSD for DATE, our church’s small group. New place, new additional people. There was this couple who just joined, and surprisingly they already knew us. Apparently, I had been a judge at a startup event they won. What a small world.

We talked, ate, laughed… the usual. Tonight’s theme was value, and everyone got a turn to share. When it came to me, I told them my core value is family. Every decision I make somehow circles back to that. Even choosing a life partner, I wanted someone who’s a true family man.

Funny trivia: at the table right next to us, there was another DATE group. What are the odds?

After the session ended, my husband and I took a little stroll around The Loop since it was our first time there. Lots of new places, some opening promos too. Definitely a spot worth returning to.

It was such an ordinary-but-lovely day. The kind I’d forget if I didn’t write it down.

Catatan penting: untuk mencapai pemahaman penuh, mohon klik dan baca setiap tautan. Awalnya adalah pertanyaan . Membuahkan suatu jawaban . Diposting di akun pribadi, seperti yang biasa saya lakukan sejak hampir 15 tahun lalu , bahkan sebelum Mark Zuckerberg membuat Facebook. Jawaban yang juga autopost ke facebook itu menjadi viral, ketika direshare oleh lebih dari 20ribu orang, dengan emoticon lebih dari 38ribu, dan mengundang 700++ komentar. Kemudian menjalar liar, ketika portal-portal media online mengcopas ditambah clickbaits. Tidak ada media yang mewawancara saya terlebih dahulu ke saya kecuali satu media yang menghasilkan tulisan berkelas dengan data komprehensif ini . Well, ada juga yang sempat email ke saya untuk meminta wawancara, tapi belum sempat saya jawab, sudah menurunkan berita duluan selang sejam setelah saya posting foto di bustrans Jakarta . Selebihnya... Tidak ada yang konfirmasi terlebih d...

Perawatan wajah dan cerita masa muda

Andaikata blog dan social media saya punya semacam FAQ (Frequently Asked Question, alias pertanyaan yang paling sering ditanyakan), sudah pasti di urutan pertama akan bertengger pertanyaan: "Pakai produk perawatan wajah apa?" Banyaaaakkk banget follower instagram / facebook / twitter saya yang nanya gitu, dan minta saya mengulasnya. Saya bilang sabar, tunggu tanggal mainnya. Tapi sebelum saya jawab pertanyaan itu, saya mau mengenang masa muda dulu ah.. Jadi begini cucuku... Waktu pertama kali ngeblog 15 tahun lalu , usia saya masih 21 (yak silakan dihitung usia saya sekarang berapa, pinterrrr). Jadi jangan heran kalo gaya bahasanya masih 4I_aY 4b3zzz.. (eh ga separah itu juga sih, hehe). Tapi ekspresi nulisku di masa-masa itu masih pure banget, nyaris tanpa filter. Jadi kalo dibaca lagi sampai sekarang pun masih berasa seru sendiri. Kayak lagi nonton film dokumenter pribadi. Kadang bikin ketawa ketiwi sendiri, kadang bikin mikir, kadang bi...

[gallery] Kakek tua ini mondar mandir menjajakan tisu kepada semua orang yang sedang menunggu di Halte Stasiun UI. Tongkat besi membantu langkah kakinya yang hitam keriput. Saya tidak butuh tisu, tapi saya punya selembar duaribuan. Ya bolehlah, siapa tau nanti butuh. Saya berikan lembaran itu, dia serahkan satu bungkus tisu. Kemudian dia duduk persis di samping saya. Menaikkan kaki, merogoh sesuatu dari kantongnya, kemudian… Memantik api dan menyalakan sebatang dji sam soe. Aduh kakek, jadi capek2 jualan uangnya buat dibakar ngerusak tubuh doang?

What I Learned from Timothy Tiah - Founder of Nuffnang

Last Sunday when I entered VIP room at JWEF , I was introduced to this guy with his mini version boy on his lap, and his pretty wife with white top and red skirt. We had chit chat and he told me he’d be in Jakarta this Tuesday, and I told him that we’d have 57th #Startuplokal Monthly Meetup on Tuesday night. To be really honest, only a very few did I know about him until he shared his amazing story on JWEF stage a few minutes later, and get inspired that I took note and now share this with you all. Timothy Tiah founded Nuffnang with Cheo Ming Shen at 2006 when he was 22 years old, with 150k RM startup capital, partly borrowed from his father. He simply founded it because there’s nobody built it before, while the demand was actually there. The site was launched in February 2007. Sales ≠ cashflow On earlier years, although Nuffnang sales highrocketed, the cashflow was poor. At one point he only has 5k left in bank, while there were invoices need to be paid out urgently. He came to Hon...

What If the Minister Didn’t Show Up, But the Wisdom Still Did?

When the minister didn’t show up, wisdom did. A day of unexpected lessons and inspiration. "Disappointment has a funny way of turning into wisdom, if you stay long enough to listen." — Nuniek Tirta Sari So, I woke up early today. Like, really early. My mission: to attend the OCBC Business Forum 2025 in St. Regis Kuningan and listen to the new Minister of Finance, Mr. Purbaya's speech. After wrestling through Jakarta’s legendary morning traffic for 2 hours, I finally arrived at the venue. The first dialogue session was already running, and I panicked, thinking I’d missed the minister’s talk. But when I looked at the latest rundown, surprise! His name was nowhere to be found. Apparently, he’d never confirmed attendance in the final version. Ah, the classic “expectation vs. reality” moment. OCBC Business Forum 2025 I just laughed. Not even disappointed anymore, just… amused. Because really, what else can you do when the main reason you came didn’t show up...
